    Not sure what you have against minimum wage, it works well in other countries (I’m from the Netherlands). Obviously it doesn’t solve everything by itself, but it’s definitely a valuable part of a range of measures to treat people fairly. It’s a fantasy that everyone can be educated to a level above minimum wage.

        You clearly don’t have even a basic education in economics. There’s enough data across a variety of jurisdictions and history at this point to establish the effectiveness of the minimum wage.youre choosing to ignore that and simp for managers and capital owners.

                Minimum wage works. Here is an article from the german newspaper FAZ (leans economically right) that presents a study that shows the low income sector has shrunk since the implementation of minimum wages.
                Germany before had one of the biggest low income sectors in the western world.
                And no, the unemployment rate did not skyrocket. In fact, Germany is as close to full employment as it gets.

            Ah, got it, so all our problems are the fault of those pesky workers wanting to afford to survive, and not those who refuse to function unless they’re exploiting others…
            Makes perfect sense, “economist”… 🙄😂

        These folks seem to have a different understanding than you.

        Specifically:

        Since as many as 10 percent of the lowest-wage workers leave or start jobs every month, any decrease in the number of full-time equivalent jobs will mean that some workers will take more time finding a new job, or will work fewer hours. But many of these workers may still see their annual earnings rise because of their wage increase.

        You are not entitled workers just because you started a business. Pay them well or don’t run a business

            It doesn’t even happen a statistically significant number of times, you’re just parrotting what executives want you to believe, believing they know what’s best for you

        You clearly don’t have more than a basic education in economics if you’re peddling debunked bullshit.

        Having bit more than basic education in economics, I suppose.

        Good for your family I guess. Now study cybernetics.

        Is it more or less a fantasy than the fantasy that every employer is able to pay the minimum wage?

        Is that why it seems you have negative wage?

        If you need staff, but can’t afford to pay them adequately, but also can’t run it on your own, your business isn’t viable, and you suck at math and pricing your goods and service(s).
